SAVE OUR SCHOOL!

My name is Patricia and I'm an 8th grader at Urban promise academy in Oakland, ca. I am writing this letter because we need to stop education rights. In my school theirs soccer, martial arts, cheerleading, girl power, homework club and etc. Urban Promise Academy needs funding for our classes and other field trips so we can successed in school. The thing i will miss about Upa is my teachers and soccer games and all those programs. My education is very important to me because i want to have a good life , I also want my family to have a good life too. My education will allow me to help out my family and me. Please support my education by letting California vote on the tax extension measure because you will also like people to support your kids education.

                                                     sincerely, patty

College for all reflection

One thing about my college experience is that it was very awesome but i didn't like 2 colleges that were Santa Barbra and Cal poly university because their were to boring and it was to sunny. The one that i liked more was Santa Cruz University because its a good school and i like it because its big and it has good food. One thing that can improve is that its to much walking. I also liked when we went to beach boardwalk because we can hang out with our friends and we can play with our friends in the arcade. I also liked that we can go and stay in the hotel with our friends and that we can go and visit our friends till 10. I also liked when we went to the buffet .

I Am Poem

I am Patty:
Who is going to achieve my goal
Who loves every single family member
especially my little brother
Who is going to become a professional soccer player
Who is very crazy with friends and cousins
Who hates people that talk about my culture the wrong way
Who likes to talk about any topic
Who loves to hear hip hop and Mexicans music
Who fears about fears about my family getting hurt
Who is proud of being Mexican
That's me if you don't like me its your problem
 VIVA LA RAZA && VIVA MEXICO

Expo Liberation Journal

Our area of study is segregation. Our community needs to mix people of color in schools because segregation needs to stop. Our community also needs to put rich and poor houses in every neighborhood because having rich houses will cause segregation. Our community should respect the different race in the United States because we should encourage the ones that are in poverty so they can have a better life. Our community will be more joyful if everyone gets along. We must get along with each other even if we don’t got the same race.

Expo Oppression Journal

Without this type of oppression people would feel unlike, would do anything to change their identity so they can be the same as others and not having others around oppression. When free from this form of oppression people will be happy and getting along with others and not having other types of segregation. Individuals will experience themselves without this type of oppression because every single person without the same skin color might get along in their own way.
